Join William Everhart for an in-depth discussion in this video Propellers and other rotors, part of Creating Aircraft Profiles with Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop.
- So now let's turn our attention to the propellers of this aircraft. Now for me, personally, I avoid drawing the propellers because, to me, they seem to take away from the overall aesthetic of the profile of this aircraft, but if you want to illustrate them, there are a couple of different options for you. I have seen some scenarios where people would take, perhaps, a ellipse tool here, and just kind of create a ellipse, try to center it up, about like so, and then just give it kind of a greyish color, or blur it a little bit, something like that, just kind of give the idea that there is something there in motion.
Once again, I personally don't care for this type of look. Another way to illustrate the blades, is if you are drawing the aircraft maybe in a landed position, then the blades would be still, so I actually have that over here, I've just taken and created a layer here, and I've drawn the blades in their profile view. And basically, this aircraft has four blades, so I have one blade here, pointing at us, and let me just zoom in on that so we can get a closer look. So this would be the tip of the blade.
The blades actually have kind of a funny shape to them, they're kind of flat, and kind of concave on one side, but then as they go back towards the nose cone itself, they round out a bit, so I've got, actually two shapes there, these would be filled with a alternating colors here just a little bit to give that illusion that there is the tip of the blade there facing you and then of course, just profiles top and bottom of the other two blades. So, that's certainly, one way to illustrate these. Another way to do it is to maybe use some of your reference photos, and if you have one especially where the blades are moving, and I happen to have one of those.
So I'm just going to turn this layer off, I'm going to turn on my reference photo here. So I could use something like this, and perhaps trace around the basic shapes of those blades, in this case it's four blades in motion here and that's certainly much more attractive than the oval shape that I showed you earlier, so what I would do is just kind of trace around these with the pen tool. And when I get out here towards the end where it is blurry, I'm not going to worry about the exact shape so much, because once I move this over into Photoshop, I will apply this blurring effect.
I don't get a good blurring effect here inside of Illustrator, so what I can do is just manipulate this, and get just kind of the basic shape, just the basic outline here. And then I can blur this in Photoshop. So one blade down, three to go. And so now I have finalized the other three blades. And as you can see, I just kind of given the illusion of the blade shape. I'm not too particular about it because, once again, when I take this over to Photoshop, I am going to blur this considerably, so you'll see it looking more like motion.
So I don't have to be super accurate here. Let me just go ahead and turn off the reference photo so you see what we've got. We've got just the overall shapes. Now this one blade down here, I did go ahead and add the little demarcation line here when the yellow will go. I'll most likely remove that a little later on, but I just wanted that to mark that specific spot, because that particular blade, it was a little more defined.

Why I Will Never, Ever, EVER Get a Tattoo
Would I have to start planning outfits around the tattoo like I plan for weather?
It would seem that the rumors are true and that the newest limited-edition Oreo flavor -- now available for purchase -- is indeed "s'mores." We'll get to how they taste in a minute, but first let's address the campfire-scented elephant in the room.
They did not call them "s'moreos."
Big mistake. Big. Huge.
I mean c'mon. In a world of increasingly absurd portmanteaus, "s'moreo" is one that actually deserved to exist. It is unjust and cruel that "s'moreo" is denied its day in the sun while abominations such as "platishing" are typed on keyboards as if they were real words.
But enough about that. Let's move on to the real questions. Are these better than "normal" Oreos? Are they comparable to actual s'mores? Is a campfire really unnecessary?
(Real quick though, shout out to whatever PR person wrapped my package in rope. Very rustic touch.)Appearance
The wafer portion of the cookie looks like a slightly-browned Golden cookie, and the creme is half "chocolate," half "marshmallow." Missing: the charred bits of burnt sugar I look for in a toasted -- OK, completely burnt -- marshmallow.
Sweet, sweet, sweet. All I get it sweet. I wish I could elaborate on this but literally all I smell is corn syrup with maybe some hints of hydrogenated oils.
The Cookie
As I noted in my last very important Oreo review, I really appreciate that Nabisco took my advice and started changing up the flavor of their wafers along with the creme.
It really goes a long way.
This time, I was delighted to see that Oreo went with graham-flavored cookies, as anything else would have been not only blasphemy, but a real missed opportunity. (And the whole naming thing was strike one in that regard.)
The graham flavor wasn't completely absent, but it was weak and could only be tasted if the wafer was consumed on its own. When the cookie is eaten as a whole, what little graham flavor there is gets lost to the overwhelmingly sweet creme.
Other than that, there's not a whole lot to talk about. The cookie was a little harder than the chocolate or golden wafers, which is neither good nor bad, it just is.
The joy of a s'more lies in the toasted (or burnt, if you're me), caramelized, gooey marshmallow and sweet, sticky, melted chocolate. Obviously, when consumed straight from the package, these cookies provide none of these delights.
Flavor-wise, both cremes fall a little short. When tasted individually, without each other -- and without the cookie -- the "marshmallow" creme has barely detectable hints of vanilla and the "chocolate" tastes of the cheapest milk chocolate to ever grace an Easter basket (think Palmer's Chocolate Eggs).
When combined -- and especially when eaten with the wafer -- all nuance and lost and all the consumer is left with is sweetness. The "marshmallow" portion was the most disappointing; how hard would it be to get some little caramelized bits in there? At least then I'd have a fraction of a chance at convincing my brain I was eating a s'more.
Dipping them in milk actually helps to bring out the flavors -- here's the science on why -- which is great news; you were going to do that anyway.
Overall, as a cookie and if not compared with an s'mores, these are a good -- if tooth-achingly sweet -- specimen. I didn't find them as delicious or as addicting as regular Oreos, but I did eat them. (And I wasn't mad about it.)
But I disagree heartily with this "no campfire required" business.
Once roasted over an open flame (either outside or in) the s'moreo comes much closer to tasting of the real thing. They're still not gooey, but at least we get a melted -- though still very cheap tasting -- chocolate and a bit of caramelization and/or char, depending on how aggressive you are in your roasting. (I like my marshmallow to look as if they've been burninated by the burninator.)
Of course, once the cookie and its marshmallow friend are toasted, it only makes sense to combine them into the ultimate s'moreo, something I am calling "S'moreo Squared."
If you prefer a more gently-roasted, golden sort of s'more situation, I recommend using my broiler method from this post or just holding everything farther from the flame.
No. Not even a little bit. They're not bad, but they're a bit one note -- that note being a highly-processed sweetness -- and they certainly don't take the place of an ooey, gooey s'more, especially not straight out of the package. Heat 'em up a bit, and you're much closer. Through a toasted marshmallow on there, and you've got something very special.
What do you all think? Will you be trying s'moreos? What's your favorite limited-edition Oreo so far?

Giving Thanks
Almost four months after the bar exam, New York's Board of Law Examiners has finally released the results . . . and I have passed the goddamn bar.
Immediately after the exam I concluded that, although some of the essays had been disastrous (i.e. the one on No-Fault Insurance), I would probably be able to compensate with better multi-state scores. This proved to be correct. May I boast? Well, it's my blog . . . I got a raw score of 173 (177 scaled) on the MBE. BarBri claimed that no one has ever failed the NY bar with a MBE raw score higher than 140 so the multi-state put me in safe territory.
Thursday is Thanksgiving and I will be giving thanks in New Hampshire to the God of Waves. It appears that there will be big surf on the day and smaller, cleaner surf on Friday. While not surfing I'll be hanging with Ray and his family (who have conveniently, and sensibly, moved from Cleveland to New Hampshire).
UPDATE: The high seas forecast for the North Atlantic includes a "hurricane force" warning with 34 foot seas. The New Hampshire forecast is a little more tame with a gale warning for tonight and 11 foot seas tomorrow. Hopefully, the wind will turn westerly before the sun sets and it will settle down.

Makeup For Ever HD pressed setting powder works great without adding any heaviness or color to your face it gives a smooth matte finish. I have combination skin & tend to get dry patches on my cheeks & chin especially during winters other compacts & setting powders tend to enhance the dry patches on my face & clings to the dry patches making my skin look really weird but with this setting powder whenever I put it on it gives a smooth natural looking finish. It feels really light weight on my skin & doesn't tend to block my pores. My T-zone is really oily & this helps my T-zone remain oil-free atleast for 2-3 hrs which is great for me because my T-zone tends to get oily within 30 minutes after completing my makeup. This also helps my makeup to stay put much longer than usual. I received a sample with my purchase from Sephora & I am definitely going to order a full size. I would recommend it to people with combination skin, it's definitely worth a try. A
Love how I can touch up my face during the day and it takes away shine and leaves my face looking matte without adding more color. I'm a teacher, and I seem to get really oily during the day, so a powder touch up is a MUST, but with other compacts, I would find that it looked caked on by the end of the day, like I was adding more makeup constantly to get rid of the shine. This takes away the shine without adding more layers of color caked on...Also, I use it to finish up my makeup routine in the morning because it gives my face a blurred look, hiding my huge pores. I love this product. But I do have to say I liked the old packaging better. I feel like this new square one may be holding less product, but that could just be an illusion..?
I like this!! As a beginner I learned what a baking was and wanted to try it, but was so nervous to mess it up. A lot of powders we're leaving me dried out, I believe that was due to my application partially and partially the products, but I wanted to try a translucent powder. I decided to go to Sephora and get this and I love it! I put it on after my concealer and it really sets it to last for the whole day. I just use a stifled brush for application and that's it! I think when it runs out I'm going to try the lose powder; however the presses powder for is easy convenient and an all around great product
STUNNING! I use this for clients when working on photo shoots and you can really tell the difference on camera once this is applied. It blurs everything and it looks so beautiful. One huge tip that I have when using this product is that you really have to be careful when applying because too much can potentially cause a bit of a white cast when using flash photography in a studio — so start with a light dusting of the powder in the desired areas and then add more if needed! There is also a loose powder formula, but I prefer this one because it is less messy and I don't waste as much product!
I purchased this because I needed a pressed translucent powder for my purse. While this did a beautiful job of taking away shine it also caused a white cast in pictures. I later found out this was a problem with this specific powder. It didn't cause a white cast in real life at all. In fact it gave a beautiful, matte finish that truly does make you look soft lit. That said, every single picture I took while using this powder there were random white streaks across my face. If they could fix this problem it would be a MUCH better product. Also my powder shattered after 2 months. I don't slam my purse around and am fairly gentle with my makeup bag. It still shattered. This was extra disappointing because the powder was $37.00 before tax and shipping. That is a lot of money for a compact that shatters after 2 months of use.
Beautiful translucent shade for under eye!!! Does NOT look cakey at all no matter how much i put on. BUT reason why it doesn't have 5 stars is because of flashback. DO NOT BAKE IN ANY WAY. This flashback is craaaaaaaaaaaazy!! You HAVE to swipe up immediately and thoroughly in order not to have flashback. Literally everything else is perfect tho. But for me, if I'm spending this kind of money... it needs to also be flashback free at this price.
Make up forever is my favorite brand out there. This compact is great, it does not cake on your face if you touch up throughout the day, it is really soft and invisible. The one thing I don't like about his is a flashback - although I don't go out that much and don't take pictures with a flash. So it doesn't bother me as much. But I had to mention this. It does flashback. A lot.
I love makeup forever products and I do keep this on my theatre makeup bag but this is not for every day makeup . At least for me. It is very transparent and leaves a white powdery look once applied. It shows up in pictures and can look very awkward. I have this three stars because I've tested it on other people and it looked pretty good. Every skin is different !
I like this product a lot! It's invisible which is great it looks like it would give off a white cast but it doesn't. I don't use this as a finishing powder after applying my makeup, I use this to touch up my T-zones throughout the day and it works great. I wish it could keep the oil from from returning but never the less it does what it's supposed to.
I have been really happy with this product. Really convenient and good quality packaging. The powder seems to have lasted me ages, I use most days and I have been using it for 9 months and think I probably have another months use. It keeps shine at bay for me on my t zone, and provides a soft smooth base for my other powder products. Will repurchase. Hope this helps.
I have pretty oily skin and I have yet to find a powder that will keep me matte whilst I am at school. Reapplying is a bit of an inconvenience for me. Will this powder keep my matte for around 6 hours?
Is these product for all kind of skin?
Is this press powder good?

Does this cake up at all?

Actually, the word infosphere already is a word, at least according to the Wikipedia, but here I wish to clarify what I will mean when I use the term, unless otherwise specified.
In my opinion, we need a single word that means, roughly, informational environment (context, situation, habitat, milieu, etc.) and I think infosphere is an excellent candidate for that job. To elaborate:
One's infosphere is simply the sum of all of the information to which one has access in any given period of time.
This includes, of course, but is not limited to textual information, or even information conveyed by pictures, per se, or even that conveyed by speech. As I will be using this term, one's infosphere is really all of the information to which one has access in some given period of time — literally any and every sort of data that can be detected by the senses and evaluated by one's brain, and this includes even that brain's own memories.
Now, to my view, this really seems synonymous with one of the meanings given by the Wikipedia:
"The term has also been used by Luciano Floridi, on the basis of biosphere, to denote the whole informational environment constituted by all informational entities (thus including informational agents as well), their properties, interactions, processes and mutual relations.[1] It is an environment comparable to, but different from cyberspace (which is only one of its sub-regions, as it were), since it also includes off-line and analogue spaces of information."
And really the only reason I don't feel comfortable about endorsing that particular wording is because the Wikipedia then goes on to explain that,
"According to Floridi, it is possible to equate the Infosphere to the totality of Being. This equation leads him to an informational ontology."
And I am not at all clear on what that's supposed to mean, and until I have a chance to read Floridi's explanation I think it best to assume for now that the two definitions are somehow (and quite inscrutably) distinct, and especially to emphasize that I will be using my own definition of the word, at least until I have come to understand Floridi's well enough to be sure they are the same.
[1] The Wikipedia cites this as a reference: Luciano Floridi (1999), Philosophy and Computing: An introduction

Nurturing a community based sustainability model, Support and outreach structures in Scratchpads Dimitrios Koureas Laurence Livermore 10.6084/m9.figshare.787747.v1 https://figshare.com/articles/Nurturing_a_community_based_sustainability_model_Support_and_outreach_structures_in_Scratchpads/787747
Free-to-use information services and e-Infrastructures aim to provide a stable, accessible and reliable environment for their communities. As the majority of European e-infrastructures are initially designed, developed and implemented under externally funded projects over a defined time period, post-project sustainability is often a concern.The final transformation from a project to a sustainable service requires careful planning and should be considered throughout initial project development. During this presentation we will demonstrate, using the Scratchpads (http://scratchpads.eu) example, how a community based support model can efficiently compliment or even replace the existence of a systematic mechanism of grant renewal. Inspired and committed communities can efficiently contribute in maintaining a de-centralised support and developing mechanism. Scratchpads case study shows how a globally distributed network of people, with diverse backgrounds, can undertake the effort of sustaining a vivid and responsive community. We will discuss how the development of a network of Ambassadors, the investment in structuring the necessary support mechanisms and the systematic assessment of the targeted audience needs, along with the adoption of an open and scalable model, are arguably major factors leading to the successful migration from a research project to a production quality system.

Labiaplasty at The SHAW Center
The Team
Call Us! 480-767-1900
Lawrence W. Shaw, MD
8913 E. Bell Road #201
Scottsdale, AZ 85260
Designer Laser Vaginoplasty®
Designer Laser Vaginoplasty® (DLV®) is the aesthetic surgical enhancement of the vulvar structures, labia minora, labia majora, mons pubis, perineum and introitus. DLV® has provided creative treatment solutions for women all over the world. This has provided us with a vast experience and creative expertise to aesthetically design procedures in line with the specifications and desires of the patient.
Laser Reduction Labiaplasty of the Labia Minora
Reducing the size and altering the shape of the labia minora (inner lips) can be accomplished according to one's specification using laser reduction labiaplasty. Elongated, unequal or dark labia minora is a very common complaint in women seeking cosmetic vaginal surgery. Most women tell us that they do not want the small inner labia to project beyond the large outer labia. With laser reduction labiaplasty, we can accomplish the individual desires of each woman. Our labiaplasty techniques can also reconstruct conditions that are due to the aging process, childbirth trauma or injury. In addition to cosmetic reasons, women will undergo labiaplasty for functional reasons, such as discomfort when wearing tight-fitting clothing, when exercising or during intercourse.
Laser Reduction Labiaplasty of the Labia Majora
Reducing the size and or tightening the labia majora (larger outer labia). Sagging and loose labia majora is seen in women with naturally more elastic skin, but also in older women who have lost their skin tone and in those who have lost a lot of weight. The vulvas look "old" and "worn." The result is a more youthful and aesthetically appealing vulva.
Clitoral Hood Reduction
Reducing the size and shape of the clitoral hood, also known as prepuce. Women who choose this procedure are uncomfortable with the appearance of their vulva due to a large amount of skin surrounding their clitoris. Most women think it is part of their large labia minora, but in fact, it is a different structure that if not recognized and addressed at the time of a labia reduction the result would be aesthetically unpleasing.
Excision of Excess Prepuce
Removal of excessive prepuce or clitoral hood skin. This tissue makes the clitoral hood look "fat" since it is additional tissue directly over the clitoris.
Excision of Redundant Prepuce
Removal of redundant tissue along the sides of the clitoral hood. This skin originates from the side of the labia minora. At times it may be so large that it gives the appearance of an additional clitoral hood. This may occur on one side or on both sides of the clitoral hood.
Laser Perineal Rejuvenation
Repairing or reshaping the perineum (the area between the vagina and the anus) can rejuvenate the relaxed or aging appearance of the vagina. Women will complain of an "ugly" vagina, or of a "large" opening to the vagina. The problem here is actually the vulva. This procedure may be performed at the same time as labiaplasty of the labia minora and/or majora, laser vaginal rejuvenation or both.
Augmentation Labiaplasty
Autologous fat transfer to the labia majora can provide an aesthetically enhanced and youthful appearance to the vulva. This procedure consists of removal of the patient's fat via liposuction and transplanting it into the labia majora. It may be performed in conjunction with in-office liposculpture.
Vulvar Lipoplasty/Mons Pubis Liposuction
Liposculpture of the mons pubis and upper parts of the labia majora. Women will complain of a "fat pad" overlying their pubic bone or of "fat" labia majora. In-office liposculpturing can alleviate the unsightly fatty bulges of this area and produce an aesthetically pleasing, thinner and younger contour.
Laser Hymenoplasty
Reconstruction of the hymen can repair the hymen to its "pre-sexual" state, as if nothing ever occurred. ASC is sensitive to the needs of women from all cultures that embrace these particular issues because of cultural, social or religious reasons. Privacy is highly respected. Click here to learn more about laser hymenoplasty.
Anal Tag Excision
Excision of anal skin tags results in a smooth and natural looking perianal area. These are a result of prior hemorrhoids leading to redundant perianal skin. In addition to these being unsightly they may contribute to difficulties with hygiene. This is commonly requested at the time of a laser reduction labiaplasty and/or laser perineal rejuvenation.
Is The O-Shot safe?
Yes, The O-Shot is safe. No side effects have been reported from injecting a person's own Platelet-Rich Plasma into their body.
Is The Scottsdale O-Shot ?
Patients' pain tolerances vary, however The O-Shot creates little, if any, pain. The areas are numbed with a topical cream, however some women may feel a pinching or stinging sensation while others don't feel anything.
What can I expect immediately after getting The O-Shot?
You may experience swelling of the area that has been injected that may cause extra sensitivity. The swelling will go down within a few days after the treatment.
How long does it take to work?
Results from The O-Shot vary with each woman, as some see a difference in a few days and others don't see a difference for a few weeks.
What results can I expect following The O-Shot?
Most women will experience increased sensitivity of the clitoris and G-spot area resulting in stronger and multiple orgasms. Typically this may take up to 3-4 weeks. Some do not experience a notable difference but are still a candidate for a repeat injection. Women who have never had an orgasm have reported being multi-orgasmic following one O-shot, even in their 60s.
How long does The O-Shot last?
The O-Shot can last for one to two years.
When should I consider The LEO (Laser Enhanced O-Shot)?
Women who have noticed decreased vaginal sensation and looseness should undergo Laser Vaginal Resurfacing with the FemiLift. This is a series of three treatments. During one of the laser treatments an O-shot would be performed by injecting PRP into the clitoris and anterior vaginal walls and then PPP would be placed into the freshly resurfaced vagina. The results from the combination treatment are therefore enhanced.
How do I know if The O-Shot at The SHAW Center is for me?
If you experience any sexual disorders, painful sex, vaginal looseness, urinary incontinence or wish to improve your sex life, The O-Shot might be for you.

WASHINGTON -- In seven rounds of global trade talks over four decades, tariff rates have been slashed by more than 75 percent. As imports became so much cheaper, trade across frontiers surged, and workers the world over produced a staggering amount of wealth.
The problem for the eighth round of trade talks is precisely that success: World trade has outgrown the rules written for it.
The round is scheduled to end with a meeting in Brussels, Belgium, next week, if a bitter dispute on farm subsidies can be resolved.

Who do you Feel Sorry For?
Do you ever feel sorry for others? Does your heart ever go out to people who have experienced a painful loss or failure? Do you feel sorry for people who are struggling to bounce back from tough situations? Feeling sorry for others may not be the most helpful sentiment in the world. Here's why…
"I kinda feel sorry for you…"
That was the subject line of an email I received.
Why would anyone feel sorry for me? I thought.
I wondered whether the person who sent the email was being sarcastic or was genuinely attempting sympathy.
I was instantly confused, turned off and even somewhat repelled. What was this person trying to tell me?
I decided to open the email and find out why this person felt sorry for me. After all, if someone took the time to reach out to let me know that he felt bad for me, there must be something seriously wrong with me and I should probably find out what it is!
Ironically, the email was a marketing ploy to encourage me to think about the message I am sending out in my own marketing efforts. Here is a direct quote from the email I received:
"Most marketers believe that the first place to start when thinking about advertising & marketing is the media—online or offline. This is a mistake. The first place you should start is your message—your unique value proposition."
It got me thinking about his particular message and whether or not it was effective. On a gut level, my response was negative.
I don't want anyone to feel sorry for me – and if someone does, that's not a person I want to spend a whole lot of time with.
Why? Because if someone feels bad for me, it means that they see me in a very poor light – one that is not very inspiring and pretty debilitating, in fact. The vision of me that someone has when they feel sympathy for me is a vision of someone who is poor, incapable, diminished, lacking, and not whole.
This is not a good vision, and not one that I want to take on.
Feeling sorry for others is not empowering, does not change their situation, and fundamentally does nothing to help them. What it does is dig a deeper hole for them and define them by the very thing that causes them to feel pain. (Or causes you to feel pain on their behalf.)
So what's the alternative? Imagining someone in a healthy, happy, thriving and successful state and sharing that vision with them. For example, the subject line of his email could have read, "Create Marketing Messages that Cause People to Take Action."
My instant reaction would have been, "great, tell me more!"

National Post – (Latest Edition)

A transition to be avoided
'The transition to a low-carbon economy" is a mantra mouthed by almost every political party, environmental group, global bureaucracy and media outlet. It is invoked not just as a policy prescription but as a moral signpost. However, like all the catchphrases of the Big Green Agenda – sustainable development, corporate social responsibility, climate crisis, environmental justice, social licence, etc. etc. – it demands trenchant analysis.
Free markets are always in the process of transition due to innovation and ingenuity, but the low- carbon transition is to be forced. Its great proponents are the enforcers, and we are talking about something far more radical than merely the way we generate energy. Leading Transitionistas such as the late Maurice Strong and UN climate Suprema Christiana Figures have admitted that they want a fundamental change in the global economic and political system.
When socialists talk about "fundamental change," the mean there'll be a lot of pain from which the friends of the government will be completely isolated. We'll suffer, they'll do alraight.
Whenever I hear such people assert both the necessity and viability of the Great Transition, I think of the introduction to my old paperback copy of Joseph Schumpeter's great book, Capitalism, Socialism and Democracy, which was first published in 1942.
In that introduction, written in 1976, British Marxist academic Tom Bottomore declared that the book's popularity was explained "by the fact that it undertakes a serious and thorough examination of the great social transition of the present age, from capitalism to socialism." Bottomore, failing to see Schumpeter's ironic message – "Socialism is coming, and won't you be sorry when it arrives" – went on to praise Soviet satellite Yugoslavia as a likely model for the state enterprise that would bring about heaven on earth.
Fast forward 40 years and the Soviet Union has collapsed, but radical socialism has far from disappeared. It has simply gone green. The transition to a low- carbon economy is still code for a transition to more political control, less freedom and less wealth.
Less wealth, that's a detail they never mention.
Fortunately, like that "inevitable" transition to socialism circa 1976, the transition to the low-carbon economy has profound practical problems. Unfortunately, the public's slowness to grasp those problems will prolong the pain, although the pain is already being felt in much of Europe and in the People's Republics of Ontario and Alberta.
The natural tendency of markets is always to use less energy per unit of output. Exxon Mobil, the now criminally-persecuted Great Satan for the radical green movement, projects that global GDP will be 80 per cent higher per capita by 2040, but this will require only a 35 per cent increase in energy use. That energy won't be wind and solar.
According to optimistic projections from the International Energy Agency (which, like all multinational bureaucracies, is a node of transition-speak), these alternatives will account for just over two per cent of the world's energy needs in 2040, when the use of fossil fuels will be greater. How does that equate with the alleged essential reduction of greenhouse gas emissions by 80 per cent by 2050? It doesn't.
Despite the success of radical greens and their political puppets in bringing new pipelines to a halt in Canada, the fossil fuel industry shows no prospect of dying either here or elsewhere. Ironically, thanks to the fracking revolution, U. S. output has enjoyed a resurgence under the most anti- petroleum president ever. Crude oil production in 2015, at 12.7 million barrels a day, was 72 per cent higher than in 2010. Natural gas production was also at a record, at 74.2 billion cubic feet a day.
According to Harvard guru Michael Porter, not only does cleaner-burning natural gas promise further to lower emissions, but its sudden abundance and cheapness has revitalized the entire U.S. economy. Wind and solar still account for just three per cent of U. S. power generation, despite all the grants and subsidies.
If the government subsidies ended, the per cent would fall to very close to zero.
If lowering emissions really is the radicals' priority, natural gas should be environmental NGOs' ideal transitional fuel. Thanks to the shale gas boom and the (market-based) switch from coal, the U. S. is leading the world in emissions reductions. But ENGOs are not delighted at the fracking revolution. They hate it, and have pulled out every piece of fearmongering and misinformation available to close it down, particularly in Europe, where they are eagerly supported by Vladimir Putin. They want fossil fuels dead, and they want them dead now. Schumpeter was among those who warned of the dangerous leftist trends that were building during and after the Great Depression. His work was followed by similar warnings in Friedrich Hayek's Road to Serfdom and fictional works such as Nineteen Eighty- Four and Atlas Shrugged. And yet societies continued down paths warned against by those authors for three or four more decades before socialist economic policies were exposed as disastrous. Exposed, that is, to everybody but reflexive socialists, who continue to fret and strut in countries such as Venezuela, or seek new rationalizations, such as catastrophic climate change and the related need for a forced transition to a low-carbon world.
Schumpeter wrote that capitalism was doomed partly because it funded a "scribbling class" of leftist intellectuals and academics committed to its destruction. These "judges," he wrote, "have the sentence of death in their pockets."
The costs of the new transition to green socialism are – or should be – already clear in soaring energy bills and sluggish economies, but the faithful – and the self- interested scribblers – claim the problem is merely one of denialism, obstructionism and, ultimately, moral turpitude. The transition is still inevitable in their minds, and their sentence for freemarket capitalism is still death.
In Ontario, electricity generation is, in essence, run by civil servants. They enjoy incredibly high salaries and benefits and costs are higher than almost anywhere in the world. As recompense, we have lots of solar panels and windmills and no fracking.

We are educated.
Attaining knowledge and educating oneself is an important concept in Islam. The first verses of the Quran revealed to the illiterate Prophet encouraged him to read. There are also multiple narrations of the Prophet which inspire Muslims to learn. For example, the Prophet said, "seek knowledge from the cradle to the grave", "the ink of the scholar is more sacred than the blood of the martyr", and "contemplating deeply for one hour is better than 70 years of worship". It is with this mindset that Muslims developed the most advanced civilization during the Dark Ages and now strive for higher education. A Gallup poll reported that U.S. Muslims have the second-highest level of education among major religious groups in the country and Muslim American women are more educated than the average American.
We strive for excellence.
The Prophet reported that "God loves when one of you is given a task and that he or she does it in the most excellent manner". Therefore, in every task we do, whether it's operating on patients or preparing dinner for our guests, we are instructed to do it with perfection and sincerity.
We focus on family.
Like all parents, Muslims are encouraged to develop good character in their children, however much emphasis is placed on the taking care of and respect of parents. The Prophet said, "Paradise lies under the feet of your mother". The Quran states "Your Lord has decreed that you worship none but Him, and that you be kind to parents. Whether one or both of them attain old age in your life, say not to them a word of contempt, nor repel them, but address them in terms of honour." (17: 23). The Prophet also narrated "the best of you are those who treat your wives the best" and "whosever desires to have expansion in his sustenance and a prolonged life should treat his relatives with kindness". In fact, severing ties with family is considered a grave misdeed.
We share many similarities with the major U. S. religions.
As Muslims, we are required to believe in the fundamental principles of Christianity and Judaism, i.e. the oneness of God, divine revelation through the Bible and Torah, the prophets of the Abrahamic faiths such as Jesus, Moses, Abraham, Judgment day, angels, etc. We cannot call ourselves Muslims if we do otherwise.
As you can see, Muslims have many qualities, only a few of which were listed, that make us great citizens of this great nation, and we have much to contribute to this society. So yes, we really do need Muslims in America, and if you haven't already, go out and meet a Muslim today!
